  • Review of Entomological Research on Sweet Potato in Ethiopia
    Discourse Journal of Agriculture and Food Sciences www.resjournals.org/JAFS Vol. 1(5), pp. 83-92, May 2013 Review of Entomological Research on Sweet Potato in Ethiopia Ermias Shonga, Mesele Gemu, Tesfaye Tadesse and Elias Urage Awassa Agricultural Research Centre, Southern Agricultural Research Institute/SARI,P. O. Box 06. Awassa, SNNPR Email : [email protected] Abstract: Sweet potato is one of the most widely grown root crops in SSA, it is particularly important in countries surrounding the Great Lakes in Eastern and Central Africa, in Angola, Madagascar, Malawi and Mozambique in Southern Africa, Nigeria in West Africa and China being the largest producer worldwide. In Africa, it is grown predominantly in small plots by poorer farmers, and hence known as the “poor man’s food.” However it is among well known and established crops in Southern, Eastern and South western parts of Ethiopia. It is produced annually on over 53 thousand hectares of land with total production over 4,240 tons and average productivity of 8.0 tons per hectare. The production and productivity of the crop is extremely low as compared to other African and Asian countries where it gives more than 18t/ha. The lower productivity of sweet potato is mainly due to the existence of common, major, minor and sporadic insect pests. Sweet potato weevil is known as the most pit fall for production and productivity of the crop followed by viral diseases in the country. In addition, sweet potato butter fly is the most devastating pest in major sweet potato growing zones in the country but its occurrence is sporadic based on agro-ecological condition.

  • Evaluation of the Performance of Improved Sweet Potato (Ipomoea Batatas L
    Vol. 8(1), pp. 48-53, January 2014 DOI: 10.5897/AJEST2013. 1572 African Journal of Environmental Science and ISSN 1996-0786 © 2014 Academic Journals http://www.academicjournals.org/AJEST Technology Full Length Research Paper Evaluation of the performance of improved sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L. LAM) varieties in Bayelsa State, Nigeria C. Wariboko* and I. A. Ogidi Department of Crop Production Technology, Niger Delta University, Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Accepted 11 December, 2013 This study was conducted using randomized complete block design with three replications each in two locations (Amassoma Wilberforce Island and Yenagoa, Bayelsa State) to evaluate the performance of improved sweet potato varieties (Ex-Igbariam, TIS 8164, 199004-2 and TIS 87/0087 including Kukunduku local) from March to June 2010. There were significant differences among varieties at both locations and across locations but locations and location x variety interaction were non-significant for sweet potato root yields. Ex-Igbariam and TIS 87/0087 had higher fresh root yields of 7.39 and 4.17 t ha-1, respectively, than others across locations. Regarding trailing characteristic (soil surface cover), too, varieties were significantly different at both locations and across locations but location and location x variety interaction were non-significant with Ex-Igbariam and TIS 87/0087 having best soil surface cover, and consequently, best weed suppressants. There was incidence of diseases but that of insects was low. For fresh root phenotypic characteristics, Ex-Igbariam and 199004-2 had yellow flesh, indicative of the presence of vitamin A precursor. Since Ex-Igbariam, TIS 87/0087 and a few others showed real promise in yield and carotene content, carrying out a multi-locational trial would, hopefully, enable selection of high - yielding varieties for commercial production to improve farmers’ yields and income in the different agro-ecological zones of Bayelsa State.

Dalum area (located in Gijang-gun, Busan, Korea) for our survey, particularly The pine wilt disease zone and the non-permanent control area. This study investigates the effect of pine wilt disease on the distribution of beetle species in the process of ecosystem change due to insect control; pine forests treated for pine wilt disease were divided into insect control and non-control sites, respectively. The results of this study are as follows. Twen tyseven species belongs to 12 families were identified from 969 ground beetles collected from this sites. Species richness was the highest in Coleoptera (6 species, 469 individuals). In the control site, 21 species belongs to 10 families were identified from 228 individuals, while 24 species of 11 families from 533 individuals in the non-control area. The highest number of species were noted in June and July from the non- control and control sites, respectively. The highest number of insects in control and non-control sites was observed in July, while the lowest in September.

  • Morphology of Male and Female Genitalia Across Acraea (Nymphalidae) Butterfly Species with and Without a Mating Plug
    Morphology of male and female genitalia across Acraea (Nymphalidae) butterfly species with and without a mating plug Shannon L. Summers, Akito Y. Kawahara, & Ana P. S. Carvalho University of Florida Faculty Mentor, Akito Kawahara, Florida Museum of Natural History Abstract Male mating plugs have been used in many species to prevent female re-mating and sperm competition. One of the most extreme examples of a mating plug is the sphragis, which is a large, complex and externalized plug found only in butterflies. This structure is found in many species in the genus Acraea (Nymphalidae) and provides an opportunity for investigation of the effects of the sphragis on the morphology of the genitalia. This study aims to understand morphological interspecific variation in the genitalia of Acraea butterflies. Using museum collection specimens, abdomen dissections were conducted on 19 species of Acraea: 9 sphragis-bearing and 10 non-sphragis-bearing species. Genitalia were photographed and then measured using ImageJ software. Some distinguishing morphological features in the females were found. The most obvious difference is the larger and more externalized copulatory opening in sphragis-bearing species, with varying degrees of external projections. Females of the sphragis-bearing species also tend to have a shorter ductus (the structure that connects the copulatory opening with the sperm storage organ) than those without the sphragis. These differences may be due to a sexually antagonistic coevolution between the males and females, where the females evolve larger copulatory openings that are more difficult to plug, while males attempt to prevent re-mating with larger plugs (sphragis). Keywords: Lepidoptera, mate conflict, mating plug, sexual coevolution Introduction Sexual conflict occurs when there are different selection pressures on males and females.
